I finished my Silk Garden Sock scarf that I made on my loom.
I know, right, I haven’t talked too much about weaving lately. This is because I encountered a big knot on the warp that threatened to unravel the warp thread every time the heddle crossed it, so I put the loom away until I could figure it out. And I did. And it involved a fork.
I’m happy with it, even the part that is a little goofy because of the fork action. I don’t think I’ll weave with the Noro again though, it’s a little too sticky, and there were a couple of knots. Luckily the other ones were on the weft which doesn’t matter much. Still, it was frustrating.
The new scarf matches my new sweater I got at Target:
It’s rather festive!
Next up, I am going to weave something with Dream in Color Smooshy OR Socks That Rock. Depending on how the Socks That Rock weaves up, it may be worth buying more. I don’t think I’ll be making any other socks with STR considering its huge fuzz factor. Maybe these colorways would be good:
I didn’t have any problem hacking the Silk Garden to bits; the STR won’t be an issue either, I don’t think. Heh.
That is so cute! No wonder my sister wants to try this . . . now she just has to find a loom. I love STR but hate the felty-fuzz on the heels when I am wearing them.
